Strawberries & Parmigiano Reggiano salad

The recipe is from a printed ad of ParmigianoReggiano which appears in some Italian magazines, it primarily aims to expand its usage. This salad consists of strawberries, ParmigianoReggiano, plain yogurt, balsamic vinegar and some mints ... a very modern cuisine, for me at least. In case you feeling intimidating, actually there's a secret ingredient listed at last: unabella dose diottimisoe qualchesorrisospontaneo (A dose of optimism). So they sell you an attitude. The last ingredient did give me a chuckle, but I like Parmigiano Reggiano anyway. Please remember this good cheese just a little can go a long way, my salad turned out very nice indeed.

Ingredients:

Strawberries, cleaned, cut vertically close to the end but not to separate

Few Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings

Few dashes of balsamic vinegar

Spoonfuls sweet cream

Spoonfuls plain yogurt

Mint

Insert the cheese into the strawberries, sprinkle some balsamic and mint. Combine sweet cream and yogurt, pour over to serve.

Angie, things are hormonious, just like what we should expect to see from salad :D

Marieke, I'm so glad to have you again! Too bad I can't see your link, please let me know if you have a chance :D

Bea, how true, it's a very laid-back dish.

Sher, seems Blogger (%$^%#XYZ@)not allow us mingle with Typepad, most of the time I can't click and go to your blog... anyway, it's another way to encourage me to eat more strawberries (as I'm not its big fan).
